Great house to get away
They had a very nice house that was clean and well stocked. The house is up on the hill quite a ways up with no cell service so have gas and your map preloaded on the way up. Once you know where it is it is easy. John was super easy to communicate with and the game tables were a great add on!

Family getaway
We had a great time enjoying Brevard and surrounding trails. Was nice to be able to bring our dog too and have a small fenced yard for her to "explore". I wasnt crazy about being asked to strip all the beds and start laundry before we left but maybe thats a normal vrbo thing.IDK This was our first stay.

Family get together
This was the perfect place to be with extended family of all ages. From the basement game room to the large table where we could enjoy a meal together (all 10 of us) to the hot tub and fire pit - it was perfect! The appliances all seemed brand new and the furniture was perfect for relaxing! We loved our stay!

Christmas Meet Up
This was a great location for our family gathering. The house was comfortable and very convenient to waterfalls, hiking and biking trails, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The indoor and outdoor spaces are excellent for enjoying the mountains.

About the host

Host profile image
I have lived in western North Carolina for over ten years while professionally racing bicycles worldwide. This area has amazing access to mountain bike trails, gravel roads, and paved mountain roads. We fell in love with the waterfalls and swimming holes just a few short miles from our property.

Why they chose this property

The gravel road just a few hundred feet past the driveway leads you straight into the Pisgah National Forest. Gloucester Gap intersection can lead you to Butter Gap Trail, Farlow trail, Art Loeb hiking trail, and a short ride to the Daniels Ridge parking lot where you can get to waterfalls, amazing swimming holes, and a whole trail system great for mountain biking and hiking. This truly is a mountain bikers paradise location.

What makes this property unique

Access to riding your bike or hiking from the door. Ultra-fast fiberoptic wifi makes remote working a breeze. A hot tub, fire pit, arcade games, and enough space for eight people make this home a great option for your next mountain getaway.
